Nian Junting suddenly had a weird feeling. When Luosang's palms pressed on his hip bones, shivers ran down through his entire body from the top of his head and almost made him moan with pleasure.
He couldn't stop his breath from becoming quicker and heavier.
As his body felt more and more strange, he hurriedly pushed her hands aside.
"What's wrong?" Luosang thought he didn't like it.
"I'm tired, I should get to sleep," he said.
Luosang helped him lie down, then tucked him in.
He closed his eyes. His heavy brows frowned even when asleep, but that didn't change the smooth lines of his face or affect his stunning appearance.
He truly had a breathtakingly charming face.
Luosang rested her eyes upon him for a few extra seconds. As she prepared to turn away, he suddenly opened his tightly closed eyes and caught her staring at him.
"Don't stare at me. Turn off the lights, and go to bed," he said.
Luosang was a little speechless.
'Who wants to stare at him while he's sleeping? He really must believe he's extremely popular,' thought Luosang.
In the middle of the night, Nian Junting woke up once because of thirst, but he slept much better than the last couple of nights.
In the morning, he unprecedentedly gave Luosang a compliment by saying, "I didn't expect your massaging skills to be that good."
Luosang smiled calmly.
She had always been confident about her massaging skills.
…
The next morning, when Luosang wheeled Nian Junting's chair into the dining room, she smelled the scent of beef rice noodles. As she dropped her eyes to the table, she found that the breakfast included beef rice noodles. The rice noodle was beautifully colored, and the beef on top of it was cut neatly and covered in oil. Seeing such an enticing bowl of beef rice noodles in morning greatly boosted her appetite.
It definitely tasted better than the beef rice noodles she had yesterday.
Luosang was hungry already. Smelling her favorite kind of noodles, she now felt even more hungry and even heard her belly rumbling.
However, she kept her eyes straight, because her parents' teachings wouldn't allow her to look hungry.
Nian Junting threw a sideways glance at her, then coldly quirked up the corners of his lips and said, "Sister Lan, your culinary skills are a lot worse than before. I lost my appetite the moment I saw this."
Steward Wu, who was holding the beef rice noodle and preparing to feed him, paused and asked, "Young Master, then this rice noodle…"
"Discard it. I have no appetite when looking at it." Once he finished this sentence, he saw Luosang's calm face move slightly, so he elegantly grinned and asked her, "What's wrong, Luosang? Do you want it?"
"No…" Luosang shook her head and responded. "But I think it's quite wasteful to discard it."
Nian Junting remained silent and thought for a while, then said with a smile, "It's wasteful indeed. Steward Wu, go bring Xiaosi here from the backyard. This morning, he'll have beef rice noodles for breakfast."
Xiao Si…
Luosang paused, suddenly thinking of the well-groomed man who visited the night before last.
'Does he live in Nian Junting's backyard?' she wondered.
When Steward Wu came back with a black and white Alaskan malamute, Luosang realized that she was wrong.
Nian Junting named his dog after his close friend.
It was so awful.
'How can this kind of person have friends? It's inconceivable. His friends are so unlucky,' Luosang thought.
Xiaosi seemed to be well-trained. Once he received the order from Steward Wu, he nimbly hopped onto a dining chair and squeezed his giant body together, looking very fitting.
"Give him a fried bread stick too," said Nian Junting while glancing at Luosang again. Seeing her face twitch slightly, he was very delighted. "Ah, don't forget Luosang's steamed bread," he added.
Had he been clearly telling her that she was no better than his dog?
Luosang was used to this.
Steward Wu was speechless.
Yesterday, Steward Wu thought that his Young Master was stung by his conscience and finally decided to improve Luosang's diet to the level of beef rice noodles.
However, he really overestimated his Young Master.
"Eh… Young Master, I don't think Xiaosi can have beef rice noodles," Steward Wu kindly reminded Nian Junting as he discovered that Xiaosi staring at his bowl. "And it seems pretty spicy…"
Nian Junting suddenly stared at Xiaosi with a pair of cold dagger eyes and said,"Is our dog really so pampered?"
Under pressure by Nian Junting, the poor Xiaosi painfully lowered his head to eat the beef rice noodles.
Luosang couldn't help but show pity for the dog.
Being Nian Junting's carer was miserable, but being his friends and dog was probably worse.
Suddenly, the sound of a car was heard from the backyard, and followed by the clicks of high-heels.
Luosang turned her head and saw a strange yet beautiful woman walking in. She looked between thirty and forty years old, had an oval face, arched eyebrows, and her black coat matched perfectly with her long white dress. Her well-cared for black hair fell over her shoulders, making her look elegant and graceful.
"What brings you here?" said Nian Junting as his mouth dropped at the sight that woman.
"I'm your mother, and I care about you. I'm here to see if you're feeling better. Watch your attitude." The woman set down her small black purse on the couch, and then walked toward the dining room.
Luosang paused for a second. This woman looked so young that Luosang thought she was Nian Junting's sister. However, judging by what she said, she was none other than Murong Cheng, the president of Zhong Zhou Group Corporation. Luosang was almost frightened by the overwhelming aura of a successful, powerful woman.
"If you care about me then why do you still have the spirits to dress up?" scoffd Nian Junting who showed no intention to conceal his scorn and disdain.
Murong Chen scolded, "You're not disabled permanently. You're a man but can't cope with this little difficulty. You want to yell at everyone every day, fine, but do you really want your mother to cry endlessly for you and to look like an ugly old woman?" Murong Cheng smiled coldly and continued, "I'm not old yet, so of course I'm going to dress up to try and find love again as soon as possible."
Nian Junting pressed his thin lips together, and then turned his eyes away. The expression in his face was a little complicated.
Luosang lowered her head to chew her steamed bread and pretended to not hear this shocking news about this rich and powerful family. It turned out that Nian Junting didn't get along with his parents.
"Ahyaya, are you crazy? How could you make Xiaosi eat this spicy rice noodle?" cried Murong Cheng. She finally discovered the poor Xiaosi and quickly walked over to drag the dog off the dining chair.
"Ow!" Xiaosi raised his mouth, it was covered in oil. His eyes were filled with tears because the rice noodle was too spicy.
Murong Cheng glanced at Xiaosi with pity, then shifted her eyes to Luosang. Pausing shortly, she frowned and said to Nian Junting, "Is she your new carer? The dog is eating beef rice noodle while your carer has steamed bread. Tingting, do you want me to get you a shrink? I know you feel bad being stuck in this wheelchair, but you can't vent all your anger towards other people?"
Nian Junting slightly moved his thin lips and said,"It's none of your business."
"Child…" Murong Cheng gave him a threatening glance then abruptly turned to Luosang. She smiled to her and said, "I'm really sorry, my son doesn't know how to be nice. It's my fault, I failed to educate him properly. Being a carer is an exhausting job. From now on, you can have whatever you want for breakfast, lunch, and dinner - just let Sister Lan know. And, I heard that you're paid a thousand yuan per day, right? That's too little! I'll add on another thousand."
Luosang had always been a calm person, but Murong Cheng's exceptionally warm smile made her feel she was in a dream. When she realized what was happening, she hurriedly refused and said, "Thank you, but you don't need to. A thousand is enough, and I've already signed the contract with Steward Wu earlier."
